Manta Rays, Witches, Polar Bears, and Trees.

These. These are my kind of love songs. Don't get me wrong, I love a good love song as much as the next person. But these ones are quirky and great. And I've had them on repeat for the past few weeks. Take a look and you should give them a listen too. And fall in love with Ludo. Because they are great. Some songs can get a little creepy and you should definitely not listen to them as you're falling asleep. Some of their songs are quite upsetting to wake up to in the middle of the night. And might subliminally give you nightmares. But their love songs? 

Fantastic. 

Manta rays above us 
In the open sea 
I wonder if you think of me. 

Now we're swimming deeper 
Nothing's as it seems 
Creatures sailing silently. 

Or so I've dreamed 
Since I met you 
I've been hollowed by your body 
I've been hypnotized by all you are 

Oh, all I want 
Is to know your name 
and whisper it in your ear, 
But I'm weightless like I'm falling on the moon. 
I'm falling slow for you... 

Driving through the darkness 
We are glowing green 
You're holding my hand to your cheek. 

This car is our vessel 
Our tires leave the ground 
Up above the night sky, we're going home. 

Or so I've dreamed 
Since I met you 
What secrets do you hide? 
You tilt your head, there's a city inside. 

All I want 
Is to know your name 
And whisper it in your ear 
With your arms around my neck. 
You've haunted me in colors 
I've never seen 
I feel strange and unprotected, 
But I'm weightless like I'm falling on the moon. 
I'm falling slow for you... 

Sailing through the dark to the lunar face 
Your pupils shining over time and space 
We are two creatures each wrapped around 
The other without a sound, 
Safe at home, 
Falling slowly. 

All I want

Is to know your name

And whisper it in your ear

With your arms around my neck.

You've haunted me in colors

I've never seen

I feel strange and unprotected, 

But I'm weightless like I'm falling on the moon. 

Manta Rays - Ludo

My ancestors planted some sequoias by a road 
I've driven down that road since I was born 
Oh, never have you ever seen so many perfect evergreens 
But I would chop them all down just for you 

I have walked a million miles in a hundred pairs of shoes 
In search of some universal truth 
Well a deity just came to me and handed me a scroll to read 
And I will gladly pass it on to you. 

Anything for you 
All of this is true 
But the best story that I could ever tell 
Is the one where I am growing old with you. 

I was having rotten luck and nothing went my way 
'Til I stumbled on a clearing in the woods. 
I found a town of leprechauns and grabbed each one for wishing on 
But I would let them all go just for you. 

I have crossed a natural plane and communed with the dead 
But people always seem to want some proof. 
No one even would believe, my love, that evil I got pictures of 
But I would throw them all out just for you. 

Anything for you 
All of this is true 

But the best story that I could ever tell 
Is the one where I am growing old with you 

My scar is from a polar bear, my curse is from a witch, 
I've caught a giant squid in all the seven seas. 
I've picked up rocks from distant moons astronomers will discover soon 
But I would give them all back just for you. 

I've gotten drunk and shot the breeze with kings of far off lands 
They showed me wealth as far as I could see. 
But their kingdoms seemed all shrivelly and they cried with jealousy 
When I leaned in and told them about you. 

I'd give up anything 
(Anything for you) 
I'd give it all 
(All of this is true) 
But the best story that I could ever tell 
Is the one where I am growing old with you. 

All I've ever wanted, see, was to tell you honestly 
I'd do anything for you. 
I'd do absolutely anything for you.

Anything for You - Ludo
